The Need for the Site

For decades, statistics have indicated that the overwhelming majority of security incidents involving corporate executives and high-profile individuals, including government and military, have occurred while the targeted individual was in or around their vehicle. During this time, the risks to the attackers are relatively low and the possibility for success is relatively high. When statistics and history are examined, we can understand why many security practitioners point to transportation as the weak link in the personal security chain. The safety and security of the vehicle occupants during this most dangerous period of time has been and is the responsibility of the security driver.
